At the point I stopped I would say 2.5 STARS. Why did I stop? Let me tell you about it .....

So I am reading along, 61% done on my Kindle, and suddenly I just don't really care anymore. I don't care if they kill the God or both Gods. I don't care if Andrea and Raphael live happily ever after and I don't care if the draugr eats them all.

I was totally into the book in the beginning. Didn't think I would be since it doesn't have Kate as the MC, but I did actually like it. I liked getting to know An At the point I stopped I would say 2.5 STARS. Why did I stop? Let me tell you about it .....

I was totally into the book in the beginning. Didn't think I would be since it doesn't have Kate as the MC, but I did actually like it. I liked getting to know Andrea more and I honestly love the way the bouda courts. The purple shag carpet was the best love gag EVER. I was good with the book up to this point. When Andrea finally got that stick out of her ass and jumped him I was all "WooHoo, 'bout f*cking time!!!" However, once Ammit showed up outside the window and took them to see Anapa and he started in on all the shit they still had to do, I was lost. Not lost on what was going on, lost as in my interest took a hike. I found myself staring at my curtains and contemplating decorating ideas, kindle long forgotten in my hands. This is significant because 1 - I don't really care about decorating, and 2 - I NEVER ignore or forget I'm holding my precious (kindle).

I no longer had any desire to read through ANOTHER gory fight to the death, 1st with the draugr, THEN with the Snake god thingy AND all his followers, THEN Anapa AND his croc/dogs. Maybe if it had just been the Snake things and a little trickery on Anapa, but I just couldn't hang on for more and more of the same fighting. Andrea is a bad ass. I got it.

So, I'm out for now. I might come back and read a little after I've distanced myself with many books in between. Maybe I'll make it through one of the fights and then have to come back for more later, reading little bit by bit between other books till I get it finished. I really do hate to leave it unfinished, especially since I know there has to be some more fun scenes and dialog with Andrea and Raphael. And Roman, I really like his twisted sense of humor. He had me at Eeyore pajamas.

So, if lots and lots and LOTS of fighting and gore is your thing, read away. Enjoy :)
